It's gonna be tough

It will be hard to give up my 9810 but I am willing to take one for the team. I will definitely be keeping it as a back-up because I feel Blackberry finally got it right with the 9810. It literally took going through two Storms (watch the pun) and a 9800 to get to where it is now. I really think the Touch slider is the best of both worlds. Wasn't there a guy doing concepts with a device called the "Blade" now that phone I would buy in an instant!! New Years Wish List: another slider with a larger keypad and a bigger screen, or something like a Samsung Note II for BB that would be my dream device. That way I could lose the Laptop.

When BB10 comes to your carrier how long will you keep your 9810 ???

Until RIM produces an equivalent BB10 slider, I will be holding on to my 9810. I dislike screen keyboard's. I bridge control my playbook just to avoid using one. If they don't then I probably go for the keyboard unit (aka bold) when my 9810 finally needs replacing.

I will be waiting until the majority of the BB10 models are released.
I want to see what all the different models offer.
Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy my 9810, but I feel that BB left a few things out with it. Such as NFC. If I would have waited another month for the 9900 to come out, then I would have had NFC. So I wont be making the same mistake with BB10.
When the switch does happen, the 9810 will be my trusty sidekick/replacement phone if needed.

My upgrade is in April so its a no-brainer! I kept my old 9800 for the battery and keep it charged from time to time to make sure it's still good and ready if its needed for my 9810. I really hope that down the road they make a BB10 Slider Torch as I'm so used to it and never cease to love it!
